A24 has released the first trailer for Jonathan Glazer’s haunting new Holocaust film Zone of Interest.
The German-language title has won raves from critics for its adaptation of Martin Amis’ 2014 novel, which focuses on the commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife, Hedwig, “as they strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp.”
The movie premiered at Cannes Film Festival where it won the Grand Prix award.
The Hollywood Reporter film critic David Rooney called it a “a devastating Holocaust drama like no other, which demonstrates with startling effectiveness the British formalist’s unerring control of tonal and visual storytelling.”
The film stars Christian Friedel, Sandra Hüller, Daniel Holzberg, Ralph Herforth and Sascha Maaz.
At Cannes, Glazer was asked about releasing Zone of Interest in light of the worldwide uptick in antisemitism. “What it’s trying to do...

Jonathan Glazer just delivered the first instant sensation of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. “The Zone of Interest,” only the director’s fourth feature film after “Sexy Beast,” “Birth” and “Under the Skin,” earned a six-minute standing ovation following its world premiere.
Glazer’s film is austere and challenging as it tells the story of the commandant of Auschwitz and his wife, who have created their dream home directly next to the concentration camp. The constant screams of prisoners, gun shots and smoke from the gas chambers haunt their paradise, but their indifference to such horrors creates a terrifying and sinister juxtaposition.
“Thank you very much, Glazer told the crowd after the standing ovation. “I’m really overwhelmed by this. It’s a dream. To be a part of this with you, thank you.”
The crowd gave Glazer and his actors a warm embrace after depicting so much horror on screen,...
